Would be nice if you could say more about the i-almost-got-scammed part. How were you almost scammed? Which member and thread?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315079.201- a comment from a FULL MEMBER .
2- a few good reviews .
3- no scam comments. !
everything about this post looked legit. till I asked for escrow and he deleted my message. so i checked his trust " did not about it's exciting" till my comment got deleted and found all kind of SCAM reviews.
here is a list of members who either refused to Escrow or simply delete my comments when i asked questions they didn't seem to like and.
I also noticed these 4 guys only have Locked and/or Self Moderated topics. which explains it all.
